Students not getting

Continuation of the Cafeteria controversy
By Sally Samayoa
Staff Writer
In reference to the Caferteria
Controversy article, which appeared in the November 3, 1992
Banner issue, a survey was conducted to assess the cafeteria system.
Mike Finnell, along with other
members from the Dining Hall
committee, established these surveys during the month of November. The purpose of the survey was to discover how students
generally feel about the cafeteria's
cost, its food quality, and its service.
The following are some of the
results of the 191 surveys taken
from November 2 to November
6:
When asked whether the food
and service are appropriate in relation to the amount of money
payed each semester, 59% re
sponded negatively, saying that it
isn't worth the money that they
were paying. 20% felt the service was adequate for the price,
and 21% were undecided.
The cost was among other observations taken from the survey.
Many students feel that the time
schedule by which the cafeteria is
currently abiding needs to be
changed. Students pointed out
that the cafeteria often opens late,
thus causing the students to be
late for their classes. Many of
these students agree that lunch
should be served from 11:30
a.m., to 1:30 p.m., to avoid this
problem. Others felt dinner
should start at 6:00 p.m. instead
of 5:00 p.m. This would give
the students the "luxury of being
hungry", as one student put it,
when dinner is being served.
To remedy the decrease in popularity of the cafeteria, students

ServiceMaster ousted: to
be replaced by Marriott
Kirk Dilley
& P.I.C.
Cal Baptist has just signed a
three-year contract with Marriott
Corporation for full service in the
physical plant department beginning January 1,1993.
The change from ServiceMaster
to Marriott includes a change in
the employment status of all current Cal Baptist employees in the
physical plant. Those who
choose to remain at the college
will become Marriott employees.
Denver B inner, current manager
of the physical plant will be relocated.
Marriott was willing to hire
Bruner, though he was contractually bound to ServiceMaster.
Cal Baptist's contract with ServiceMaster ended July 1, 1992.
The college looked at different alternatives from ServiceMaster and
Marriott.
Included in the contract with
Marriott is a budget for the physical plant. The contract includes
all personal (except parttime student workers, who will be employed by the college), and the
purchase of a new lawn mower.
"On a yearly basis,
the cost will be
less than we are
paying now."
"On a yearly basis, the cost
will be less than we are paying
now," Don Evans said.
Marriott has a preventive main-
tainence program and many innovative programs which involve
the campus community.
The new physical plant manager is Eric J. Herttua, a representative of Marriott. Herttua has
been in the managerial work for
twelve years, and with Marriott
the last seven. His experience
lies in the Health Care branch
provided by Marriott to Hospitals, and other facilities. He applied for this facility because of
his experience as a project engineer for Marriott.
Plans have been made to coordinate with ServiceMaster, namely
Bruner, to help make a smooth
transition.
The Marriott transition team
should be getting to Cal Baptist
by December 15.
"We want a good, smooth, efficient transition and start up. I'm
hoping to have better relations
with the faculty, administration,
and the students," said Eric J.
Herttua of Marriott
The new contract with Marriott
brings to an end a long, hard and
tough process for the administration, namely Dr. Evans.
"Our ultimate consideration was
the efficiency and calliber of the
physical plant. The benefits of
this move remain to be seen,"
said Dr. Evans.
Students Meet To Air
Grievances on Issues
By Jennifer Hall
Staff Writer
At ten o'clock on Monday, December 7, students gathered in the
Olie T. Brown room to discuss
some of the questions they had regarding recent decisions made by
Cal Baptist's Executive Council.
Concern was expressed about food
service, the condition of the residence halls, maintenance and the
installation of the new signs on
campus. The meeting was a result of the Executive Council's
awarding the physical plant and
maintenance contract to Marriott.
Flyers were distributed in the
Residence halls on Sunday night
requesting student presence at the
meeting. Michael MacDonald,
president of A.S. expressed the
desire to see the students get answers to their questions. Several
of the students were, not aware of
the ServiceMaster contract expiring and the Marriott bid until The
Banner story.
One of the issues discussed was
the $1,700 conference room just
added to the W.E. James complex. Also questioned was the
$1,500 spent on the new signs,
installed for indentification purposes. MacDonald and students.
Andy Peters penned a letter to the
executive council questioning the
roll of A.S.C.B.C. in the Executive Council and decision making, who authorized the new
signs, what course of action was
available for students dissatisfied
with Marriott's service and why
the cost of food service went up
while so many cutbacks were being made in the same area.
The letter requested the Executive Council's presence at an
open forum, to be held in the
A.J. Staples room on Friday,
Dec. 11 at 10 a.m.
Willie Hamlett, Associate Dean
of Students, was present at the
meeting and brought up the fact
that Cal Baptist had been very
dissatisfied with ServiceMaster in
the past and mentioned the poor
track record of the managment before Denver Bruner came to manage the physical plant.
